A Time of Magic

Somehow none of the hotel search engines ever seem to get it quite right when one’s looking for a hotel that meets a specific set of requirements.

Take airport hotels for example. Sure, you’ll find that the hotel search will let you look for a hotel near your airport but often they don’t bother to add that all-important search option ie does the hotel have a shuttle and is it free? Most older sites don’t mention wifi at all even though many (not all) of the aiport hotels will include it but even those that do rarely mention the charges for the wifi access (some are free, others extortionate). Actually, on that front, I wonder how long it will be before there’s an outcry over wifi access charges comparable to those of the phone charges? Or will we all simply go down the USB wifi adaptor route?

So it’s a pleasure to find a San Diego California hotel that goes to the trouble of offering both a free airport shuttle and free wifi and, equally importantly, saying that it offers these right on its website. It’s even got free local calls too!
